title: Increased incidence of Campylobacter jejuni-associated Guillain-Barré syndromes in the Greater Paris area.
abstract: The role of Campylobacter jejuni as the triggering agent of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has not been reassessed since the end of the 1990s in France. We report that the number of C. jejuni-related GBS cases increased continuously between 1996 and 2007 in the Paris region (mean annual increment: 7%, P = 0·007).
